modifying /etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml
by Rosika from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4PYPP)
Hi everyone,
in order to change the position where a GUI should be placed on the desktop upon opening an application (in my case the terminal) I need to change the rc.xml-file ( /etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml ).
Yet the file itself says:
Quote:
Well, I did that. However I had to create the openbox-folder first as it didnt exist yet. That got me thinking......
Then I modified the rc.xml-file in $HOME/.config/openbox/ to my liking.
After that I should run
Code:openbox --reconfigure. But that didnt work as openbox isnt installed at all. How is that possible?
Now what could I do to make the changes work?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Greetings
